Thread: Dang Bow Hunters ……… Give Me Some Stories????

I honestly have never heard this before, but who knows... I hate the smell of bleach so I'd rather see nothing than smell that.

I was at my farm weekend before last and after the, I forgot this and didn't have that and what else could go wrong stuff, I finally made it out to my stand in the evening. I'm sitting there and the mosquitos are buzzing around so I fire up the thermacell and they magically disappear. Pretty soon I have a huge red squirrel walk down the big grape vine next to me look and start barking. He went to another tree nearby and spent the next 20 minutes barking and wheazing. Then I hear something coming through the leaves behind and to my right. I see the big, perfectly symetrical 10pt. that I've had on my trail cameras since mid summer. He comes along my right side about 40yds out. Theres brush so I don't have a shot, but I watch him and he gets 60 yds and turns to walk in front of me which will bring him within 28-24 yds. He gets behind a small clump of trees so I stand up and draw. He stands there.......and stands there......and stands there. By now my arm is shaking from keeping the bow drawn so I ease it down. He starts to move forward so I immediately draw and he stops. He waits a little while longer and turns and walks slowly back the way he came. I had a good long look at him and I'm failrly certain that he's the one I have on my cameras. He'd be a nice trophy, especially with a bow.
That's my story so far. I'm going to try to get back out there this weekend. I have to get my layout boat out of the barn anyway, so I'm justified going either way.
